1101 Chapter 08 Mass Storage Technologies - Slide Handouts

This document discusses different types of mass storage technologies, including hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and the Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) standard. HDDs store data on rotating magnetic disks and come in various form factors like 3.5" and 2.5". SSDs use flash memory instead of rotating disks and offer faster speeds than HDDs. While older, SCSI is still used with variants like Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Internet SCSI (iSCSI).

Mass Storage Technologies

Chapter 8

CompTIA A+ (220-110x)
Mike Meyers and Steve Nicholson
Episode: Introduction to Mass Storage

Core 1: 3.3 Given a scenario, select and install storage


devices.
Objective(s): Core 1: 3.4 Given a scenario, install and configure
motherboards, central processing units (CPUs), and add-on
cards.

CompTIA A+ (220-110x)
Mike Meyers and Steve Nicholson
Episode Description

Mass storage (disk drives and solid-state


drives) store the operating system and
applications. Despite the different
technologies, systems talk to these many
devices in similar ways.

Quick Review
• There are many types of mass storage
used today, including hard drives, solid-
state drives (SSDs), and optical media
• Regardless of the media your operating
system sees, mass storage is a string of
logical block addresses
• There is a difference between decimal
values and binary (IEC) values

Episode: Magnetic Disk Drives

Core 1: 3.1 Explain basic cable types and their connectors,


features, and purposes.
Objective(s): Core 1: 3.3 Given a scenario, select and install storage devices.
Core 1: 3.4 Given a scenario, install and configure motherboards,
central processing units (CPUs), and add-on cards.

Episode Description

Hard disk drives (HDDs), which store data


on rotating magnetic disks, have been the
go-to mass storage media for decades. A
good tech understands how this venerable
media works and understands magnetic
media’s unique needs.

5,400 RPM, 7,200 RPM, 10,000 RPM,
15,000 RPM

CompTIA A+ (220-110x)

Quick Review
• Magnetic disk drives use spinning platters
to store data via magnetism
• Data is accessed through read/write heads
• The most popular hard disk drive (HDD)
form factors are 3.5” and 2.5”
• We use the Advanced Technology
Attachment (ATA) protocol to
communicate with hard disk drives
• The dominant ATA is called Serial ATA
(SATA)

Episode Description

Solid-state drives (SSDs) are quickly


replacing HDDs for mass storage needs on
almost all computers. SSDs are faster and
more robust than HDDs and come with their
own maintenance needs.

• 1:32 - Objective term - 2.5" form factor
• 1:37 - Objective term - M.2 SSD form factor

CompTIA A+ (220-110x)
Mike Meyers and Steve Nicholson
Quick Review
• Solid-state drives (SSDs) store data using
chips; there are no moving parts
• Data is stored in blocks and pages
• SSDs come in traditional 3.5" and 2.5" sizes,
but also come in M.2 format
• Some SSDs use the very
fast NVMe protocol instead of ATA for
increased performance

Objective(s):
connectors, features, and purposes.

CompTIA A+ (220-110x)

Episode Description

The Small Computer System Interface


(SCSI) has been around in one form or
another for decades. Despite its age, SCSI
drives still appear in niche systems. It’s
important to recognize SCSI systems and
where they’re used today.

CompTIA A+ (220-110x)

Key Terms

• 0:36 - Objective term - Parallel ATA


(PATA) uses Integrated Drive Electronics
(IDE) cables

Systems Interface (SCSI)
• 2:07 - Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
• 2:40 - Internet SCSI (iSCSI)

CompTIA A+ (220-110x)
Mike Meyers and Steve Nicholson
Quick Review
• The Small Computer Systems Interface
(SCSI) is an ancient standard that still has
great support
• The old parallel SCSI is standard, but the
SCSI language lives on in serial
SCSI versions
• Two modern SCSI standards are Serial
Attached SCSI (SAS) and Internet SCSI
(iSCSI)
